The first 70 pages of text in this oversized book are divided into 5 sections:
1) Childhood 1907 - 1925;
2) After the Accident;
3) Frida and Diego's Marriage;
4) Crazy Love 1941 - 1946;
5) After 1946.
Each section contains a biography, chronology and photos of that period of her life. The remainder of the book contains the plates…42 of her masterpiece paintings reproduced in full color and detail. Sections of the paintings are enlarged to reveal the intricate detail, the brush strokes and even the texture of the canvas. A descriptive analysis of each painting is included to provide an insight into its meaning and her inspiration to create the piece.
I find that some of the painting commentaries in this book are contrary to those I have read in other books. The author of this book sees the paintings from a slightly different perspective. I'm not sure I agree with some of them but everybody sees art in their own way.
This edition is presented in a beautiful stamped-linen, casebound box.
The format, content and size of this book are very similar to the large Kahlo book by Luis-Martín Lozano. If you already have that book then I would say skip this one...it's pretty much the same.
The suggested retail price for this book is $125.00 but you can find it on Amazon.com or Ebay.com for a lot less. This is a VERY heavy book so expect to pay extra for shipping.
Content: 261 Pages, 121 Color Plates, 54 Illustrations
